    How to tell which A4 has a Multitronic or Tiptronic box

    So with regard to the model, an Audi A4T 190 S line can also labelled as a Sport ? My confusion, the seller says it is a S line " Sport " and this is also stated on the Reg Doc? I've not seen the reg doc. Parker's guide list the S line as one model and the Sport as another. There doesn't...

    Hey lostbok, Thanks for such a detailed reply to my post, much appreciated. Sorry for delay with my Thanks and Appreciation, was otherwise engrossed with replies to another post. My reference to the leather S line interior was finding the half and half suede centre section, this it what I...

    I believed Audi's were made of Galvanised Steel ?

    Hey took, thanks for a detailed explanation of your opinion. I do live in the real world and I don't expect a vehicle sit on the drive or in a garage without use. I don't wish my post to turn into a slanging match with anyone but I'm not going to sit by while someone attempts to ridicule my...

    I believed Audi's were made of Galvanised Steel ?

    T0m , Case closed in your opinion. As you have no idea what you are talking about. No wonder your fancy bollards are rusting? If you don’t really care why bother posting a reply, why contradict and attempt to denigrate my question, opinions or believes? There is a huge difference...

    I believed Audi's were made of Galvanised Steel ?

    If so simple, Fella, I wouldn't be asking opinion on this forum would I ? You do the asking and when Audi reply, post it on this forum for all to see. In all advertising literature, Audi stress their vehicles are manufactured from pressed Galvanised steel. They also stress they are the...

    I believed Audi's were made of Galvanised Steel ?

    I'm not worrying regarding Rust and my reference to rubbing the Galvanisation off was only a joke. I'm not looking to claim on a warranty either. It is just a query, based on my own beliefs and understanding. Whether right or wrong, most companies try to wriggle out of the warranty offered...

    I believed Audi's were made of Galvanised Steel ?

    I'm new to this forum and as of yet I don't even own an Audi, although I hope to do so soon. So, I'm not disputing Audi owner’s answers or their experiences. However, when I do acquire my A4, I have no intention of making the galvanised steel rust by rubbing off the zinc, but surely to do...

    I believed Audi's were made of Galvanised Steel ?

    Maybe the newest is 7 years old and to some we expect a vehicle of that age to show signs of corrosion ? However, I'm certain during the early 80's and the mid 90's TV ads stated Audi's are made of galvanised steel. I'm unaware whether recent Audi ads state this but I believe galvanised steel...

    How to tell which A4 has a Multitronic or Tiptronic box

    With regard to rust, I believed Audi's are made from Galvanised steel ? Galvanised steel does not rust/corrode ? The Audi referred to Tip, yes could have been referring to the manually change option but as the ads were from dealers, there could be a little more to it, mmmmm ? As for the the...

    I believed Audi's were made of Galvanised Steel ?

    I was under the impression Galvanised steel doesn't corrode ? Yet, I've encountered a few 04 Audi A4's with small rust/paint blisters. On the the edge of the boot lid, base of rear wheel arch/sill and on the front wing ?

    How to tell which A4 has a Multitronic or Tiptronic box

    Thanks lostbok, Much appreciated for the information, arrangement of your reply and your time taken, thanks again. I initially wanted an A4 1.8T S line because its an S line, I know engine and performance is no different to that of a 190 Se or Sport but its an S line ? However, based on the...

    How to tell which A4 has a Multitronic or Tiptronic box

    Thanks for all replies. So, Tiptronic is only available on A4 Quattro's ? Do Audi actually produce a 1.8 A4, b6 S line Quattro with an Tiptronic box ? I only have Parkers Guide and on line car ads, such as Autotrader etc as my reference and most A4 b6's listed with Tiptronic tend to be of...

    How to tell which A4 has a Multitronic or Tiptronic box

    I plan to purchase a A4 b6, ideally an 1.8 S line or maybe a 130 sport diesel. It was my desire to have the Automatic/Sequential Transmissions. However, I have since discovered that the Audi Multitronic box have well know issues which can be expensive to repair. Is this so throughout the...

    Hi, just stumbled upon your A4 B7 conversion, this is something I also plan to do. Hey! Its one hell of a conversion and looks fantastic, top marks! I noticed you source a genuine B7 bumper and bonnet/grille assembly ? Did the front bumper and bonnet bolt on without any modifications to the...
